I'm working on several Valentine's Day gift guides: I'm looking for gifts for him, wellness gifts, gifts for her, pet gifts, food/spirits gifts, and more. To pitch me for these guides, please be sure to include the following:
- Name of item
- Links to major retailers where sold (it's in your best interest to include several retailer link options when pitching, especially major ones like Amazon)
- Link to image and any necessary credits
- Description why it's a fit
- Item must be currently available and currently in stock.
Be sure to start a new email thread and be clear in the subject line what specific gift guide(s) you are pitching. Just replying to this email is a great way to get your pitch buried in a heap - we don’t want that! And, yes, in answer to all the questions in my inbox: These are all earned media, and not sponsored, guides.

General submission instructions: Email me at [email redacted] - do NOT just hit reply on this newsletter, or there’s a good shot your email will be lost in the heap. Give your email a subject line that makes it clear which story you are pitching me for — it’ll help you in the long run.
